- Take it.
First let's find out
if you're worth trusting.
I'll call later.
The call's from Noida.
Near Delhi border.
DL registration.
Show us the papers.
I came of my own accord
to tell you.
Why would I lie now?
I have no clue
I've come from so far
to tell you everything.
I'll tell you everything.
Hiding information
is out of the question.
Just ask!
They left this place a week ago.
They could be anywhere.
I'll tell you when to hand over
the ransom money.
Just relax. And wait.
I'll let you know.
He called from Calcutta.

They have nabbed a person
there. - In Shyambazaar..
Move from here.

What they're doing to her.
"In high spirits,

"The Lord is your gardener,
O green forest."
"Never mind the cuss words,
"Ignore what the world thinks."
"Take the name of God.
Take the name of Ali.."
"Take the name of God.
Take the name of Ali.."
"She has taken the path to Him."
"She has taken the path to Him."
"Ali.."
"Travelling on and on.."
"Ali.. On your path,

like rainwater falling"
"soiled if she
touches the ground."

Wow!
Great!
There are such
unique places in this country.
Tell me.
Why are the rich fascinated
by dirty, run-down, old ruins?
Step to the side.
Step forward.
Hold this.
Hold it straight. We need
to show the date.
What language is it?
- Bengali.
So that they think
we're in Bengal. Smart!
You've been abducted.
Look upset.
Who'd pay ransom for you?
Stop laughing.
Be serious.
How can I be serious,
looking at you?
Aadoo!
Okay. I'll turn around.
Higher.
This place is good.
The market is nearby.
Better buy her clothes.
She'll stand out like this.
Everything will be okay.
But I'd like to know..
If anything goes wrong..
The ransom, the calls.
By the way, are we still..
Sticking to our plan?
Why?
Just asking.
We're selling the girl
to a brothel.
Okay.
- Don't get fond of her.
Nothing like that.
Is she the only respectable one?
What about the poor girls?
Women are taken away at night.
For some big shot
from the city.
And who takes her to him?
Let it be..
- Her own husband!
Her man.
He sits outside while his wife
is inside with the big shot.
Then the door opens
and he brings his wife
back home.
And he takes out all his
frustrations on the woman.
Because the rich can exploit us
whenever they feel like.
To hell with them!
To hell with them!
Drop it.
He's not in the mood.
I'll fix his mood.
Are you mad?
Never do that.
Got it.
What is it?
You asked him to buy
clothes for me.
Aadoo told me.
Stop acting. I look very nice.
What is this song?
Well?
- Why do you want to know?
I want to hear the song.
That's it.
Go now.
Mahabir Bhaati.
Where did you hear it?
- Why should I tell you?
Now, I have to know.
What song was that?
It's not a song.
Then?
So where did you hear it?
My mother used to sing it.
Really?
Wow!
For you?
Tell me. Please! - Yes,
she used to sing it for me.
When she went to work,
I went with her.
I'd cry, so she'd sing. Okay?
You used to cry!
Does your mother live with you?
Enough. Go inside!
Stand up!
You see,
I don't feel like going.
Too smart!
- Right!
I'm not scared anymore.
Don't get offended, but..
I find you really cute now.
So, what made you cry?
Tell me.
Sorry! I won't ask again.
Listen..
"Sleep now."
"Do not cry."
Look down!
Where's your mind?
You burnt the food.
"to a field
of sweet delights."
"The parrot on the tree"
"tells you"
"to smile."
"The swan wants
to befriend you."
"My adored son."
"My adored son."
"The night is as dark as coal."
"Your eyes fill with sleep."
"With a blanket of stars
covering you."
"Sleep a sweet sleep."
"The night is as dark as coal."
"Your eyes fill with sleep."
"With a blanket of stars
covering you."
"Sleep a sweet sleep."
"If you toss and turn"
"the mynah bird
will steal you away."
"A falling star,
a little star."
"A falling star."
"It asks after you."
"Why don't you sleep?
Why do you cry?"
"Why did you get so lost?"
"What upset you?
Who upset you?"
"What did you leave behind
in the land you came from?"
Your mother..
What do you call her?
Mom.
So..
Is she well?
I mean..
Is she all right?
You have to promise me,
Mahabir.
Once we're done with all this
you'll see her.
Where is she?
In the village.
So, you'll go to the village
and see her.
Okay?
Promise?
"Tell me what is in your heart."
"Share your thoughts with me."
"The parrot on the tree"
"tells you"
"to smile."
"The swan wants
to befriend you."
"Sleep now, my adored son."
"Sleep now, my adored son."
"Sleep now, my adored son."
"Sleep now, my adored son."
It's in English, right?
- Totally in English, sir.
This one.
"Let me dominate you.."
"Dominate your body.
Terminate this naughty."
"Let me dominate your..
Dominate your body."
"Terminate this naughty."
"I am a hot Tamale.
Red Chille me, finale."
"Fire like Bob Marley.
